This subject looks like good wiki-fodder! I have set up a page for
starters - if the contributors to this (so far blissfully brief) stream
would like to add to it, that would be nice. Including the stuff about
the books below ...=20

I have played with the css a bit, and I think it looks a little neater
(unfortunately I'm spending all my waking hours on work at the moment,
so I haven't had a lot of time).

Two books come to mind.

There's a famous science fiction book called The Night Land (1912) by
William Hope Hodgson that is set billions of years in the future after
the
death of the sun. It begins about 90% of every paragraph with And, and
most
other paragraphs with But, Yet, Then, or Now. It creates a very unusual
atmosphere, kind of like a continuous ominous brooding.

Then there is Lord Valentine's Castle by Robert Silverberg that beings
with
And.
